A third man tied to Aaron Hernandez and wanted in connection with the slaying of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd has been arrested in Florida, Massachusetts State Police announced Friday.

Authorities said Ernest Wallace, 41, turned himself in to police in Miramar, Fla., and with his arrest, a spokeswoman from the Bristol (Conn.) County District Attorney's office said that investigators believe that all three men who were in the silver Nissan Altima when Lloyd entered it, are in custody.

Police announced Thursday night that Wallace was wanted as an accessory after the fact in the Lloyd homicide. Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end, has been arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in the killing. Hernandez entered a plea of not guilty.

Carlos Ortiz, arrested Wednesday also in connection with the homicide investigation, is also from Bristol. He appeared in a Bristol court Friday morning for an extradition hearing, and was taken to Massachusetts.

Wallace has a criminal record in Connecticut, with convictions for drunken driving and various misdemeanor charges. Massachusetts police had considered Wallace to be armed and dangerous.

Prosecutors said Wednesday in a North Attleborough, Mass. court that Hernandez was with two associates he summoned from Connecticut before Lloyd was killed on June 17. Prosecutors said surveillance video from Hernandez's home shows three men, including Hernandez, entering his home and carrying guns just minutes after Lloyd was shot five times and left in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez's home.
